KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 30 — The High Court today sentenced a couple to 30 years in prison after finding them guilty of trafficking 173kg of methamphetamine four years ago.
Judge Nurulhuda Nur’aini Mohamad Nor handed down the sentence on Adam Tan Seng Tek, 34, and Vietnamese national Nguyen Thi Kim Thanh, 33, after finding that the defence had failed to raise reasonable doubt at the close of the defence case.
“The court finds that the prosecution has successfully proven its case beyond reasonable doubt and finds both accused guilty and convicted on the charge,” she said.
The court ordered the prison sentence to run from the couple’s arrest on Feb 24, 2022, with Tan also receiving 12 strokes of the cane.
